design, the one-half inch diameter, flush mount, 150-12. This new design is in response to
requests from our customers for a switch that would give them additional "working room"
for extra wire, E.O.L. resistors, etc., yet would more readily install in the increasingly
popular hollow core windows.

RECESSED 1/2
SWITCH SET
Larger than 3/8 but smaller than 3/4, G.R.I. introduces their newest innovative switch design, the one-half inch
diameter, flush mount, 150-12. This new design is in response to requests from our customers for a switch that would give
them additional working room for extra wire, E.O.L. resistors, etc., yet would more readily install in the increasingly
popular hollow core windows. The G.R.I. 150-12 is a 1/2 diameter contact, manufactured from a special polyvinyl
material with a unique collar design that will press-fit into wooden or vinyl clad windows with a snap-in fit for hollow
core vinyl or aluminum windows.
The G.R.I. 150-12 is paired with a matching 1/2 magnet case to offer the installer up to a 1 gap. The 150 switch can
also be paired with any of the wide selection of G.R.I. magnets to help resolve difficult installation applications, such as
our MF-875. Patent Pending.

G.R.I.s Mighty Mag contacts will assist in resolving the installers problem of drilling into the new thinner
vinyl windows. These rare earth magnets are less than 1/8 high and install fast and easily without worry
about damage to the window itself. (Please see the Mighty Mag page in the accessories section of G.R.I.s full
line catalog for dimensions).
G.R.I.s Mighty Magnets make use of a rare earth alloy which allows the size of the magnet to be significantly
reduced while still retaining or improving the gap involved. These rare earth magnets can be mounted with the
stainless steel mounting screws provided (MM-400 and MM-600) and/or double stick tape included in the bag,
or may be glued into place.
Note: G.R.I. suggests using a silicone or clear nail polish sealant on the surface of installed rare earth magnets
to prevent corrosion.
